Negley Ave., Pittsburgh admission is $10 from Stanton ave. entrance and parking is available on Stanton ave. across from Union Project www.unionproject.org Deccani Souls (2012) A Film by Kaz Rahman Canada / India / USA, 2012 Duration: 105 min Production Format: HD Video Screening Format: HD Video featuring: M.A. Siddiq, Sathya Bhama, HKS Babu, Mr. Sultan and Mr. Syed synopsis: 'Deccani Souls' is a mystical journey that begins with Hamza wandering through a strange landscape of assorted debris in the winter snowscape. He 'dreams' of another place and time- Hyderabad. In Hyderabad, Babu works for the government as a 'census' collector. Babu acts as a kind of door-to-door salesman and initiates elaborate conversations in order to get people to sign away the forgotten yet painful history of 1948 and 'Operation Polo'. Meanwhile the Urdu poet Siddiq struggles with writer's block as he navigates the history and pulse of the Deccan looking for a lost essay his grandfather wrote decades earler. They each weave through the portentous streets, cafes and chaos of Hyderabad trying to make sense of this magically tragic city. cinematographer: Kaz Rahman editor: Kaz Rahman music: Hédi Hurban written, directed and produced by Kaz Rahman www.charminarfilms.com __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Start a New Topic Recent Activity: * New Members 1 Visit Your Group Views expressed on the list represent the sender only.

[Highland Park] Person Rang My Doorbell at 10:30PM
by Ian. K 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

There was what appeared to be a man who rang my doorbell at 10:30PM last night. I assumed that if it was a neighbor, they would have called us before or after ringing the doorbell, but we got no calls. I didn't get a good look at the person. Did this happen to anyone else? Stay on the lookout.

[Highland Park] Hip young couple seeking apartment/house/living situation
by Cate Stevens-Davis 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are tentatively starting to look for somewhere new to live, and I thought I would put some feelers out here and see if anyone had any leads or connections they mind sharing. We're great tenants - quiet, clean, mature, employed full-time. We're pretty handy (painting, household repairs, gardening, etc). We have two great pets: a 12-year-old yellow Lab who is very sweet, never barks, basically just wants to sleep and cuddle at this point in his life, and a 5 year old indoor cat. Both are used to apartment living, completely house broken/litter trained. We are a very mellow household. :) We're artsy types and don't make a lot of money, which sadly limits our rental options. Looking for something under $600. We love living in this neighborhood but we're open to moving, even outside of the city. Not looking for anything fancy, not looking for lots of amenities, just a decent place to call home. Open to a roommate situation, depending on the person. Please let me know if you know of anyone looking for a couple of awesome tenants! Thanks, Cate
